McLaren outline relief after Lando Norris-Oscar Piastri concern

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has expressed relief and delight at how well Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri continue to work together following their intense 2025 drivers' championship battle, which Norris ultimately won. Piastri had been the favourite after the summer break but fell to third in the standings behind Norris and Max Verstappen after a difficult second half of the season. Stella noted that rather than damaging their relationship, the title fight has actually strengthened the partnership, with Piastri leaning on the team more than ever.
